A really big well done to Red Class for their first week at school. We hope they have had lots of fun getting to know us and the school and we look forward to another week together.

After our first week we are now ready to dive into hearing the story of 'The Kissing Hand' which is all about Chester the raccoon and his first day at school. We will be thinking about how Chester felt on his first day and how we felt on our first day. We have lots of other fun things planned including touring the school and taking some photos of what and who we find on the way. We will also be thinking about the people who are special to us.

We will be painting our self-portraits to create our own Red Class gallery (pictures to follow!). We might even try to paint our new school!

On Friday afternoon we will be having a class photo taken for the local paper. Make sure you practise your best smile!
